Your double standard is visible, even in your points.

I am prejudiced toward people with too many unnecessary letters at the end if their name in toribash. Or against orange belts and below (I expect them to be less mature even though this makes no logical sense since belt is no indication of age or personality at that level).

It is evident that you are rather confused as to what one liners are. Since the majority if my replies have been more than four lines long and are mostly void of the witty wordplay that usually makes most one-liners memorable or even noticeable.

You keep accusing me of things without any direct reference or evidence to back up your claims. I am not saying that this means you are wrong since it is probably due as much to laziness on your part as it is the the quantity of quotable evidence or lack thereof.

How does one confirm opinions on affirmations? Maybe you meant "seeking affirmation on other opinions?" In which case I can assure you that I am not (at least on a conscious level, I can't speak for my sub conscience however, but neither can you, so please don't try).

Where would my "double standard" be "visible" in anything except my "points" what else have I posted here? This is a genuine question aside from my previous bombardment of rhetoric. I want to know how you are actor garnishing my points (the implication that I have made anything other than points here leads me to believe that you see another type of post in a separate category).

I eagerly await my double standards being revealed in all their "visible" glory.

Are the double standards that I said I wanted people to have many interpretations of the question but am trying to stop you from using your interpretation to rant at me regardless of my actual opinion or my motives for starting a thread with a pretty ambiguous subject?

The only reason I started this thread was because there were not many serious discussion threads open at that time and I wanted people to have something to debate. I was going to say "should discrimination be punishable?" But I felt like that was an obvious yes and was pretty hard to argue against since it already is punishable in many developed countries. I also considered "is prejudice bad?" But that was even more obvious since it is inherently bad regardless of some of the advantages it can have occasionally. I figured that "should prejudice be punishable?" Would be a good balance. I realise that I should have said "acts of prejudice" but I didn't want the question to be too long so I just wrote a few rules in a spoiler below it.

I hope that helps you understand that my motives weren't to confirm my opinions on other affirmations but to create a subject which could accommodate a range of arguable opinions while not requiring people to have to research the topic (like prior discussions on prejudice or racism which tended to be focusses on actual events or disadvantaged those who didn't know tonnes of facts and stats).

Thank you for reading.

Sorry for long post. I had a lot to get off my chest .
